Where to get the Tokina 11-16mm?

There is no right or wrong way, but, professional cine lenses focus with closest focus to the left and infinity to the right. Nikon's focus the other way. Canons focus the "right" way for cine. The deal with this is that 1stAC's focus from their hypothalamus, just like when you throw a fast ball, run up a set of stairs, ride a bicycle, or I believe even when you write letters... all these "physical" actions are stored in a super fast part of the brain where "simple" motor tasks are programmed. I do realize I took this a bit far, but, when you are used to doing something a million times one way, you will kick and scream if you have to do it the other way. Of course, they will do a decent job, but, with something as mission critical as focus pulling you do not want to fudge with your puller's hypothalamus. :) If you learned with Nikon's or other right to left lenses you would have an equal chance at getting just as good as the best did when they started when using those lenses. However if you want to work with Cine lenses, then reversal gears in your follow focus, re-housed lenses, Canon or other "right way" lenses might be a wise idea.
